Some of the hair the Vidal Sassoon Academy North America presented recently at the intercoiffure America/Canada Fall Atelier in New York was casual looking, with more texture and a modern finish, as seen here with this long layered look, captured on the runway. This is the first look I’ve ever seen from Vidal Sassoon that doesn’t have the ’60s all over it! To the future … For more Sassoons and more from Intercoiffure, click here:
